Old Men in Congress.

There are gray headed men in Con-
gress and the indianapolis journal thus
names some of them:
There is a great deal of old material
yet IN Congress, despite the fact that
many OF the statesmanic landmarks have
been removed during the past few years.
In the Senate Morrill,, of Vermont. stands
out as the oldest man, being seventy-six
years of age, while his colleague, Ed
Inunds, is sixty eight. Payne, of Ohio,
is also seventy-six years old, but falls
short of Morrill, by seven months. Dawes,
of Massachusetts,, is seventy, although he
does not look slxty-tive. Wade Hamp-
ton, of South Carolina, Evarts, of New
York, and Sawyer, of Wisconsin, have
withstood the blasts of sixty EIGHT win
tiers and the heat of as many summers.
Evarts looks much the oldest of the trio.
Conger, of Michigan, is spry, but has
worn sixty-nine years. Wilson, of Mary
land, and Brown, of Georgia, are each
sixty-fve, while Beck, of Kentucky, is
sixty-four Pugh, of Alabama, is sixty
six, and Salisbury, the bachelor from
Delaware, is sixty-nine.
There is no one in the House so old as
the two oldest Senators. Judge Kelly,
the father of the House, the venerable
Pennsylvania protectionist, leads the list.
He is seventy-two, but Eldridge, Of
Michigan, it is said, is quite as old.
Plumb, of Illinois, is seventy, while the
directory records Waite, of Connecticut,
at seventy five, which must be an error.
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, is siSty-nine,
Reagan, the Ext Confederate Postmaster
General and Treasurer, the pride of Texas,
is slxty-eght, as is also Singleton, of Mis-
sissippi. Barbour, of Virginia, is sixty
six, ditto Lindsey, of New York. Char
ley O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, is sixty
five, Wadsworth, of New York, the same,
and Geddes, of Ohio, makes upa good
sixty-two. The old men in the Senate
seem to be much more aged in actions
than those in the House.

Mexico's Silver Wealth.

Charles Iyeil, the eminent geologlst,
says that the interior of Mexico is the
richest known argentiferous section in
the whole world. The fact was long ago
established that meialiferous vein runs
without interruption through the entire
length of the cordillcra Of Anahuac, ex-
tending from the Sierra Madre in sono-
ra, near the northern border. to the gold
deposits of Oaxaca, in the extreme south
OF Mexico. This exhaustless vein ira
verses no less than seventeen States, and
since the day ofits discovery its mineral
yield has been more than 81, 900, 600. 00O
worth. Ard yet these valuable sources

His Little Girl.

As is known, the daughter of Nc
Wicker, the elder, married Edwin
Booth, but it is not generally known
that when Their marital relations became
strained that McVicker sided with his
daughter, and that Horace McVicker
(her brothcrl took up Booths cause.
This led to an cstrangement between
McVicktr and his son that absolutely
separated them. Time passed on with

the first trouble, McVicker pere, Journey

A Curiosity in Suicides.

The opprcssor's wrong, the proud
mans contumely, the insolcnce of Office,
and the pangs of despised love, are
among the reasons alleged by Hamlet as
.ustifying man in committing suicide,
if he has the pluck TO take his chances
on "the other side" The pangs of
hunger and the dread of penal servitude
are in modern times even more frequent
motives TO fclo- desc. 1t has been re-
served for Manchester man to invent
newreason for self-slaughter, and to take
strychnne because his wife had never
given him anything on his birthday

It," lie does not say that he would have
smoked it, and this nice selection of
terms argues n certain method in his
madness. He will doubtless be received
with distinction in the 'purgatory Of
suicides" as one who has invented a
novel motive for shaking the yoke Of
inauspicious stars from his world weary

OF Oscar Wilde it is related that at
the christening of his infant son, he was
called on to furnish the b.by's name, but
for some reason or other he felt such a
responsibility TO be greater than he
chose to assume, and declined respond
ing to the parsons appeal. The latter,
in no wise disconnected, promptly took
the matter in his own hands, and de-
rlared John" to be the boys name.
Reused from his Indifference by his Of
springs deadly peril, Mr.. Wilde found
strength to rush forward and murmur
softly: Cyril" and then fall back ex-
hausted from the intensity of his emo
tons. Th. baby is saved, however, and

No Great Shakes.

A Cambridge man who was travelling
in the Adirond lcks went canoeing with
one'of the most famous guides OF that
now famous region. In the course of the
trip the guide remarked:
''You know Jim Lowell, / supposef"
''Why, no." the visitor replied. sup

to, Il cannot say that do"
"What, you don't kaOw Jim Lowelli

''Yes, the guide assented. That's

The Cambridge man replied that such
was not the generally received opinion,
and inquired upon what the dweller in the
hackwoods founded an opinion so unu-
sual, this beng before the astounding
Hawthorne alleged interview gave people
ground for supposing Mr.. Lowell must
have taken leave of his senses.
"Well, was out with him in the
canoe" the guide explained, ''and we
were going down stream with theIcurrent

A remarkable discovery has been
made in Springfield, ILL.,, by DR.. G.. N.
Kelder, local physician and surgeon
The case in question is called actinomy-
COSTS hominis, or lump jaw, in the human
being. The disease infects cattle and
other animals, and was first discovered
in human being in Berlin in 1899, and
in the present case is thought to be the
first in this country. The Medical He;-
ord of May reported. case in Montreal
of a young lady who. it was thought had
died of phthisis, form of consumption
In speaking of the case the Nelical lee
o. d said it was rare and interesting
one, there being few, if any, authentic
Gated cases reported in this country
The subject Of the present case is
young lady employed in a Springfield
manufacturing establishment, who,
about year ago, was operated upon for
tumor of the lett jaw, wnich was cxtir-
pated. 1t grew again, and she went to
jacksonville 20 consult a physician. By
accident tho physician was absent, and
the case came under the notice of DIR.
Keldcr, Of springfeld. lie secured some
Of the fungus. and when placed under
the microscope it developed the disease
with which the doctor is familiar, hav.
ing seen it in the Old country year ago
while pursuing a series Of studies OF
medical science II is a.fuugoid growth,
aud one Of the proofs Of the germ
theory. The fungus is mass of yell
iowish pus containing small plaques re
sembling seed, mingled with long fila
ments. The disease invadcs the lungs
intestines, and general system, and, j
not interrupted in its course, invariably
results in death, but if taken in its pri.
mary stage, as in the present case, itcan
be cured. DIR. Rausch, of the Illinois
State Board OF Health, examined the fun.
gus, and confirms the diagnosis made by
DIR. Kelder.
